Others have commented already but I think the overarching storyline of Walt here is that, while his Ego might be the trump card in many circumstances, in the end, it is his love of Family that has brought about all this catastrophe.
In the end, after all the horrible stuff we saw Walt do prior, he still sacrifices for his family.
It's just another layer to the love-hate relationship I have with the character.
Edit: And also, because invariably someone will bring this up in response, Walt utilizes that massive ego in his final act to 'save' his family.
